300D Front Suspension Noise - YouTube
I have replaced the following:
ball joint
tie rod
guide rod mount
repacked bearings
upper control arm
lower control arm bushing
shock
rotors
break pads
I am considering that it could be a steering issue...any thoughts? Also, I have thought about the idler arm and/or steering dampener, but I doubt they could produce the feeling at my left foot while driving. PLEASE HELP! |
My best guess from the good video
It looks and sounds like chatter contact between the brake caliper and wheel rim, and/or rotor.
If the wheel bearing adjustment is loose, this is possible.
If the caliper mount bolts are loose, this is possible.
Doubtful, but possible:
I assume you have inspected the inner plastic fender liner for witness marks of tire contact.
